SL>> IIRC there were other issues with FTS1 (can't remember, it was a while

 WD> There we have the copyright ghost again ...

   First of all: US copyright law does *not* apply outside of the USA.
Fortunately...

   Secondly, even according to FTA-1007:

  1. Some works (for example works of the U.S. Government) are not
     subject to copyright. However, to the extent that the submission
     is or may be subject to copyright, the contributor, the
     organization he represents (if any) and the owners of any
     proprietary rights in the contribution, grant an unlimited
     perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide right and
     license to the FTSC under any copyrights in the contribution.
     This license includes the right to copy, publish and distribute
     the contribution in any way, and to prepare derivative works that
     are based on or incorporate all or part of the contribution, the
     license to such derivative works to be of the same scope as the
     license of the original contribution.

   The above clause surely makes it possible to update even Randy's outdated
documents to present standard.
